Tonight we focused on the design stage of the ADDIE model. One of the large focuses was Learning Objectives. I really liked our discussion about learning objectives and the observable and measurable verbs to use when creating learning objectives. Creating the Wordle, the chart, and studying the list of verbs really helped me formulate my plan for the development of my thematic unit. Having recently finished my masters degree, I have spent a lot of time writing learning objectives and having this list of verbs really would have helped me to establish more concrete goals.

I thought it was useful to be given time to work on our unit however, I also was frustrated due to my role amongst my fellow students. Due to my being an ed tech for several of the participants in the class much of that time was spent assisting them with problems and answering questions. I suppose that in the future when given time to work on assignments I will have to be a little tougher and have them ask Ross or Camille. That seems like a difficult task because I want to help and want to provide them with the time and attention they require. I just also need to get my personal work done in a timely matter as well.
